Or pensate, amanti cori

Available translation(s): ENG
Or pensate, amanti cori,
che le gioie più soavi
quelle son de' primi amori
sul bel fiore dell'età.
Ai momenti dilettosi
sieguon poi le cure gravi,
e i contenti de' riposi
sono gioie d'amistà.

Now consider, loving hearts
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Now consider, loving hearts,
that the sweetest of joys
are those of first love,
which come in the flowering of age.
Following these delightful moments,
grave cares then proceed apace,
and one finds content and repose
merely in the joys of friendship.
